The technology classroom is a multi-media and interactive space for demonstrating the principles of lighting and applications.

There are four demonstration areas: General Overhead Lighting Light Interaction Color Booths Office Spaces

General Overhead Lighting
Overhead lighting systems are designed to demonstrate common methods of ambient lighting in commercial spaces. The luminaires selected represent over 20 different distribution methods emphasizing how they render the space as well as the human perception of the space.

Light Interaction
This area demonstrates the interaction of light with surfaces. Wall panels that feature various textures, colors and materials will be used in a wide variety of lighting techniques that emphasize the importance of light placement, directionality, source selection and movement in relation to the desired effect.

Color Booths
These full size demonstration booths feature side by side comparisons of different light sources. Demonstrating color temperature, color rendering index, and spectral distribution, these booths show how lamp colors render space and the importance of color and brightness contrast in defining accents. Accent lighting in each booth demonstrates the principles of contrast ratios and color contrast.

Office Spaces
Four individual cubicles house six distinctly different luminaires in each for a total of 2 comparisons. Each demonstrates lamp and ballast efficiency, luminaire efficiency and compares this visual information with how lighting catalogs present information on luminaire performance.

Application Staging Area
The primary use of this space will be to 'mock-up' spaces for end-user customers to show specific application demonstrations. This area, which contains a movable ceiling as well as static ceilings, provides for a wide range of potential project types including medium box to high end retail, office areas, educational settings and healthcare settings.

The 14 x 16 movable ceiling ranges from 4' to 16' so as to accommodate various ceiling heights for demonstrations. In addition, changeable ceiling materials and moveable walls can be used for various lighting design applications. This space can double as a showcase for new product introductions as well.
